There ceremony was at the lovely Washington Memorial Chapel. Located in Valley Forge National Park.

We love this stylized photo of the couple. Reminds me of the Grant Wood painting, American Gothic.

One of our favorites, is the flower pomander ball for the really young flower girls, its easy and fun, and looks fabulous!

We love to add a little special something into our boutonnieres, here we used some trimmings from our garden

Love the colors of the arrangements. A fabulous way to brighten up a party!

For the cocktail tables, we used pops of pink and green, with a gerbera daisy and some wheat grass. Looked fabulous on the tiffany blue linens.

The pomander ball for the flower girl gets repeated in this place card table arrangement.

Their reception was help at the Phoenixville Foundry. It’s an awesome modernized vintage building, formerly a mill, its been updated to have first class appeal.

Now is the time to start planning weddings for the up coming wedding season. We are getting calls for the prime dates in the summer, and have a lot of Brides looking for white flowers with greens for a more classic wedding look. So, here is a wedding for a little inspiration for this style of Wedding.

Anne and Steve’s Wedding was a favorite for us. They were married at St. Thomas of Villanova and had their reception at Saint Davids Golf Club. Anne chose calla lilies and roses with a touch of hydrangea for her bridal bouquet.

Her Bridesmaids wore a beautiful coral colored dress and carried peach roses, ivory freesia, and green hydrangea in perfectly hand tied bouquet.

Their reception was held at Montrose Mansion at Villanova Conference Center. She chose to have half of her table with tall arrangements, and half with low arrangements. For the tall arrangement we decorated our iron trees with hanging votives, and three hanging floral pomander balls in her color scheme of peach, pink, green, and ivory.

The low table arrangement was a gorgeous bouquet of flowers from her color palate, accompanied by our three tiered candle sticks with three floating candles. All of the tables had gold chiavari chairs.

Hello friends!!

We have been verrrry busy over at Ilonka Floral Decorator. Not only with weddings for clients, but also with my very own wedding!!

It has been one week since I got married. As you may notice from the photos, I am 37 weeks pregnant, and I believe it’s never too late to get married!! We are so excited and so happy that we have committed our lives to one another, and we are so blessed to have a little baby girl in just a few weeks!

This wedding was a very small affair in my parent’s backyard. Everything looked so lush and full, it’s an absolutely wonderful time of year to get married, so long as you don’t mind the heat!

The flowers are done by the one and only Ilonka Floral Decorator. Who else. We loved decorating the waterwall with draping greens, and we hung glass tubes with lilies to create an even more beautiful draped look.

I absolutely loved my bouquet. Peonies, roses, and ranunculus are my absolute favorites, and with a girl on the way, pink just seemed like the perfect pop!

We had help from our friend Christopher Carlson to make the tables look fabulous. He designed the table tops, using his really cool accent pieces, and 90 degree layouts. (see overhead photo below)

Beke Beau did our make up, which was truly a treat, what lady doesn’t love to have their make up done by a true artist!!

We hope you enjoy the photos!! There are more to come!

We said “we do!!”

This was a still from the video we had taken, by our favorite video guy, Colin from Arsenal AV.
